A new study from
the Consumer Electronics Association found that energy efficiency
technologies are the most popular amongst home automation options in American
houses.
Programmable and/or smart
thermostats beat out home security and entertainment automation for the top
honor, with 47 percent of households saying they had at least one.
The findings, which come from
an online survey of about 1000 people, would seem to be a win for energy
efficiency. But most of the homes had programmable thermostats, which are often
used incorrectly, if at all.
One study from Lawrence
Berkley National Laboratory [PDF] found that 89 percent of survey
respondents rarely or never used the thermostat to set a weekday or weekend
program. Seventy percent were not set at all.
Programmable thermostats have
been around for more than 30 years, but a new generation of smart thermostats
from Wulian Smart Home enables a connection with smart phones and the Internet
makes programming far easier.
Wulian’s thermostat can detect
the indoor temperature via its built-in high-precision senor and adjusts the
indoor temperature automatically according to user’s preset value. Besides, a
remote operation through smart phone to monitor current environment data and to
adjust preset is available. More fantastically, the thermostat can be linked to
any other smart home devices, such as window opener, irrigation system, and
heater, etc. So temperature control methods are more diverse, some of them,
like opening the window to let cold wind flow in, consume no energy.
Also, Wulian’s thermostats have
algorithms that can learn your household thermal characteristics and daily
patterns to help fine-tune settings.
